harderwear. the hardest way to wear.

It all started with the idea to create Hardhats, a play on my last name Harder and a way to do what I have always wanted to: start a business. I got to work in the Fall & Winter of 2023 making the funkiest and coziest crocheted hats I could. Largely supported by my boyfriend, family, and friends I was able to get hats on more heads than anticipated!

Still, I found myself craving something more. Through finishing my senior year of college, I came up with the idea to create Harderwear: a deeper exploration of my love of design, fashion, comfort, and most importantly, creation. I am trying new things, revisiting old things, and embracing every bump along the way.

I am happy to have you here, and happy to see you in some Harderwear.
